Notes edit
- ^ As in Brazil the government is formed by a coalition, it is hard for a party to reach the majority of 257 deputies and/or 41 senators. Therefore, the majority party is the one with more members in each house.
- ^ The successor is always the first substitute available of the party's coalition in the state. He may or may not be from the same party of the first holder.
- ^ The successor is always the first substitute available of the party's coalition in the state. He may or may not be from the same party of the first holder.
